Antimicrobial activity, bacterial adhesion, and surface morphology of TiO2 nanoparticle-coated orthodontic elastomeric ligatures: An in vitro study
Key Points
Antimicrobial activity is significantly elevated in TiO2 nanoparticle-coated orthodontic ligatures.
Bacterial adhesion is reduced by approximately 40% compared to traditional ligatures, indicating potential benefits.
In vitro analysis was conducted to assess surface morphology and antimicrobial properties of the coatings.
These findings support the use of TiO2 technology for improved orthodontic treatment outcomes.
